Michal Bisping is not looking to make any new friends, the UFC middleweight went on ESPN’s UK UFC podcast to talk about why he turned down a fight with Cung Le and his upcoming fight with Tim Boetsch.

“I was initially offered fight Cung Le, but I don’t want to fight Cung Le … I want to be someone creditable, Tim Boetsch has won four in a row in the UFC.”

“I have never really looked at Mark Munoz and thought he looked like a particularly dangerous opponent. His ground and pound looks good, his wrestling doesn’t look all that dangerous, his stand up is suspect and he’s got a weak chin. I think Tim Boetsch is probably a harder fight.”

Bisping’s quest for the title is now set, he confirmed he has signed the bout agreement to fight Tim Boetsch at on July 7 2012 at UFC 148.
